Tgteka, Kan.. Jan. 21. Five new Alliance senatorial candidates appeared in the field to-day. Some of them are avowed candidates, while others are only talked of by their friends.

Blair, who -fought on the Union side during the war with r.reat honor. He is a Democrat and is considered by many as a good compromise candidate.

Gorgeous Spectacle Upon Which New Eng enders AreTeasting Their Eye. Springfield Republican. We are eniovinz one of the rarest and most wondrous manifestations of beauty known to our Northern tvitr and known only to a wmterof ourclime, theice-storm. pucn a storm we may have any year, even in anonftn flnson. n.nrl it ia nnt fitrinirfl to New England eyes, yet this particularstorm is exceptional in the duration of its effects, lor now it is sixty hours since the rain descending froze upon the trees and shrubs, encirrliiify vrr twiir wHh a r'rsf.n.l cylinder branching like the coral, shining iia.e ournishod silver, and creating a fairyland over the plain splendor of the common Snow.

The Conductor Has Fun and Gets Even with the Man Who Wears Rubbers. Ansonia (Coon.) Letter in Ksw York Sun. The electric street-cars between thisplace and Birmingham have always been a source of pride and wonder as well to the people of the two towns. Never a countryvisitor comes to see nis relatives out ne is taKen for a ride on the 'lectrio cars, and the work ings are explained to him. Some of the cars "leak." and the metallic narta are highly charged with the electric lluid. One car especially is noted for this. The conductor and those who fciiC v thesocret have lots of fun sceinz the look of painful sur prise that spreads itself over the faces of those who are shocked, lesterdaya lady got on the car as it started, and as her feet touched the iron door-sill she gave a startled scream, and a look of blank amaze ment spread over her features as she re marked: "Something is the matter with my 1 limbs; 1 can't move them." The conductor gave her a little push into the car. and a sigh of relief escaped her as she sank into a seat and blushed like an Italian sunset. The next one to enter was a big Irish washerwoman. She was fat and jolly, and her size required an efi'ort on her part to squeeze through the door. She planted both feet on tne iron plate and then screamed, "Howly Moses! me legs is full of Eins." The conductor didn't laugh. He ad too big a job to push her oil' the sill. Then came a gentleman whose little dog followed him. The dog's feet struck tho door sill, his tail dropped down, the hairou his back rose up, and with a pitiful howl he dropped back, jumped ott the car and has not been seen since. The man with rubbers on smiles a superior sort of smile as he steps in, and this angers the conductor. To get even with him ho asks for the fare just as the rubbershod man gets inside the door. Then the man with the bell punch steps on the door siJl, touches the other man's hand with his finger as he makes change and a stern com pression of the lips and a muttered oath is the only toaen tne conductor has that his little scheme worked. The sensation is not at all painful, bnt its suddenness is apt to take the resolution out of a man as quickly as anything. People who are troubled with rheumatism ask permission to stand in the door during the whole trip and declare that the shock is benehcial. Democrats Opposed to Education. Boston Transcript. Governor Peck, of Wisconsin, was elected as a pronounced opponent of the Bennett law, so be is speaking in sympathy with the Democratic party ox his btate. whose candidate he was, in urging its repeal as "an invasion oi the rights oi parents." lhe feature of this celebrated law that pro voked alien opposition is its provision that no school shall be regarded as a school within the meaning of the statute "unless there shall be taught therein, as part of the elementary educa tion of children, reading, writing, arithme tic and United States history in the En glish language." As a professional humor ist Mr. Peck can scarcely be expected to have a very deep regard for tho .Lnzlisb language. He wrote once a series of Bad Boy papers which enjoyed a considerable renntation amonc those who eniov that 6ort of "humor." But whatever may be natural in a humorist of his stamp, there is noexcuse for the Governor of a State of this Union urging that the learning of English is not a duty for its children. If any German-born citizen wants to teach his children German the Bennett law does not stand in his way. lt simply means that V isconsln is an American Mate, and that its school children onght to be taught the language of the country. If a State of the Union has not a right to insist that En glish must be taught in its public schools what right has ltr K there are citizens of the United 8tates who do not -want to be considered Americans and do not want their children brought up to be Americans they bad better return to the country whence they came. nigh-Toned and Loud.

Facts About the Man Who Discovered This Great Chess Opening. New York Bun. All other items of chess sews are for the present thrown into the shade by the Stein-itz-Gunsberg encounter, which, as time goes on, grows more and more interesting. The Evans gambit, on Jan. 4, brought things to a most unexpected climax, and whatever may te said in explanation of Steinitz's defeat and certainly much can be said there is no gainsaying the fact that this game will be quite reasonably counted as a brilliant and crowning triumph for Gunsberg. At a time when the title of this game the Evans gambit is in the mouth of almost every chess-player, one may be prompted by a natural curiosity to inquire. "Who was this Evansf Who was the man whose name is given to this now famous chess opening?'1 It may be known to many who he was, but there perhaps are more who do not know. William Henry Evans, by birth a Welshman, was an officer in the English navy, where he held a captain's commission. Inquiry at the leading club in New York as to the time ot h's death brought, out a number of conflicting statements. One or two were of the opinion that ho died somewhere about 1840 orlS50, but the most likely story was to tho efiect that the Captain lived to a ripe old age, and for many years led a quiet and secluded life somewhere in France or Holland, subsisting on a pension which be held from the British government. There is every reason for assuming that when be gave up all active connection with the game of chess, about tne time hrst mentioned, many people were led to believe that he was dead. Eugene Delmar and Maior Hanham. two prominent members of the Manhattan' Chess Club, both agree that Captain Evans died within the last decade, and this is confirmed by a story told the other day by a gentleman in New York who claimed to be personally acquainted with the old gentleman during his retirement. The 6tory, which describes how Captain Evans met and defeated in a game of ehess the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, brother of the late Czar and uncle of the present Muscovite ruler, will be found highly interesting, not only to eh ess-play ars, but also to the general readen 'I was personally acquainted with Capt. Evans. His son had served in the same regiment with me, and that was how I came to know his father. Young Evans was a man who might be described as on mauvais sujet. and at the time when I first became acquainted with his father the old man was living in Ostend in somewhat straitened circumstances with his daugh ter and the son already mentioned, lhis was just before the 1 ranco-Pmssian war broke out, in lttiO. "During the season of that year the old Czar's brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas, was on a visit to Holland, and at the par ticular time to which 1 allude was staying in Bruges, which is about sixteen miles from Ostend. Hearing that the inventor of the Evans gambit was in Ostend, and being himself a warm devoteeof the game, the Grand Duke sent an invitation tot vans to come over to Bruges and play him a game. Captain Evans was of a very independent turn of mind, and. taking the fancy, he refused to go. Perhaps this refusal was in consequeuce of something which will be explained directly. "However, the invitation came a second time, and was a second time declined. On the third occasion, when the Grand Duke gave a special commission to one of his aids-de-camp to bring the old man, whether -he would or no. Captain Evans, for some reason best known to himself at the time, consented to goto Bruges. The old salt and the brother of the greatest of autocrats met and fought a stubborn game, which lasted for three days. Of course, thev played without time limit. The Grand Duke was counted a fine player, but the old Welsh man got the better of him in the end. "When the fight was over Captain Evans told me the story-the Grand Duke turned to his adversary and. addressing him in French, said: 'I believe you invented the Evans gambitf' " 'Yes.7 replied the Captain, 'and it is not the only thing I have invented for which you have not paid iue.r "'What is the otherr asked the Urand Duke. "Captain Evans then explained thathe was the inventor of certain 6hips' lights the red and the green for 'larboard' and starboard' I believe it was whioh have since, been almost universally adopted. The Grand Duke Nicholas was at that time the admiral of the Russian navy, which had just begun to use the lights to which Uaptain t van s referred. "Nothing more was thought about the matter at tho time, and Captain Evans continued his quie life at Ostend. Some months later, however, he received a letter from tho Russian consul in that city asking him to call at the consulate. When the old man reached there the consul handed him a letter from the Grand Duke Nicholas,' in which that great man, in very complimentary terms, told the Captain in t rench how happy he had been to meet bim and play with him a game of chess. "When the inventor of shin lights and the Evans gambit had finished bis perusal of this letter, the Russian consul said that was not all he had to give him. and there upon he handed to Captain Evans a magnificent gold chronometer, made by Irodsham, of London, one of the best-known makers of this class of watch. Upon the obverse side of the case was an Inscription in Sclavonic characters in these terms: 'To the great and good man, w iinam iienry h.vans,' while on the reverse were engraved two ships, with their lights represented by precious stones. Accom panying this appropriate gift was a valuable gold chain, each link of which represented the link of a ship's anchor, and the bolder a ship's lantern with a brilliant for its light. . "And hnally. to make the thing complete. there was a draft for 2,000 from the Grand Duke Nicholas to CAptain Evans, osten sibly in payment for Russia's rights to use the Captain's invention on her ships." r ' Would Need Them. - Ilarper's Bazar.

Governor Hill's election to the Senate need not affect his presidential ambition in the least. On the contrary it would tend to harmonize the New York Democracy, and give it a much better standing in the next national convention than if it were to be split up into factions. Governor Hill has undoubtedly adopted the wise course. Free Silver and Savings Deposits. Yonngstown Telegran. William L.

He estimates that, if an unlimited free-coinage bill should become a law, tbero would be shrinkage in the value of these deposits of $000,000,000, as they could all be paid by tbe banks in silver.

Speakers and singers should always cover the throat after an entertainment when go ing into acooiroom or into tne open air. A light bit of laoe or any open work cover ing for the neck that will admit of ventila tion is really the best protection. A6ilk muffler is a positive evil; get into the habit of wearing one, and your throat will be come so sensitive that a draught of air will cause an irritation, bteer clear of heavy wraps for your neck, and you will be blessed witn immunity Irom throat diseases. A mixed ration will always give more satisfactory results than any one material. Oats and corn, with good hay and fodder, can be made the principle parts of a ration, while bran, oil-meal and quite a number of other materials can oo used to make np a variety. Use a larger proportion of corn during the summer, increasing the oats in the summer and lessen in the winter. Oats is one of the very best grains that cau bo supplied to horses, and especially so to the work teams. When clover is made a special crop on the farm it will seldom be the case that nitrogen win do lacmng, especially it a cronj vi uiuvcr is iuiucu uuuer occasionally, ua grain-growing farms, where stock is also kept, and the manure applied to the soil in addition to the plant food provided by growing clover the phosphates will usually be the best fertilizers for the farmer to procure. One bag of superphosphate, or bonemeal, on each acre of land will show wonderful effects in such cases. WE BELIEVE That S. S. S. is 'without an equal as a remedy for malarial poison.
